I thought Venezuelan production was already stymied?  am I missing something? https://www.reuters.com/article/us-venezuela-politics-usa/maduro-says-u-s-sanctions-will-not-stymie-venezuela-oil-industry-idUSKBN1FP2UR

Maduro is still saying production is going to increase to 2.4 million bpd from its self-reported 1.9 million bpd. I have my doubts the numbers it reports to OPEC is accurate. How are these numbers generated, What transparency is involved in OPEC figures?
